The Gravel Pit

Stevens Creek in flood

Today I decided to trace the stream that runs through the Gravel Pit to where it flows into Stevens Creek. After all the rains of the last few days all the streams were in flood (photo left), and it was it quite a sight to see. On following a narrow track along the north side of the stream it dropped to a clearing bordering Stevens Creek. Large concrete blocks on either side of the river suggested that this may have been the location of the bridge the quarry owners built and used half a century ago. A large tree had fallen across the river a hundred yards downstream providing an natural bridge for the daring (top photo)!
